In Search of.....

[Dania]

a Bazzill Bling color that matches or is similar to Sunflowers. Diane I'm hoping you can help me with this. And then I'm hoping Dani can get me the 25pk colors.

My daughter's flower is sunflowers and she would like to decorate her wedding favors with sunflowers. I was able to get ahold of the retired QK sunflower die but now I would like a bling paper, but AGAIN I need someone that has actually seen the paper to help me since the stores in my area do not carry this and I would be afraid to order online and find the color off.

I do have a center for the flower. Thank you in advance. I feel like a stranger to the MB, it will be refreshing when life calms down a bit, but it's all good.

Dania, did you see the Spellbinders Sunflower set Dani has in stock? Very Nice!!

Dania, how exactly perfect does the color have to be? (Yes, I know it's for your daughter's wedding, and that certainly raises the bar!)

I can't tell you an exact color name for a Bazzill bling CS, but I do know that yellows seem to be few and far apart. I just looked up "Bazzill Bling Sunflower yellow" on the internet, and the color in the picture was definitely NOT a sunflower yellow! Could you call a scrapbook store or two and ask them to make a suggestion? If Dani isn't still unpacking stuff, perhaps he (or Rose) could make a good guess.

Have you considered using Prima flowers?

Just for the record, sunflowers come in many, many colors, but I do understand the risk of the "sight unseen"!

I'm sorry that I can't be of more help!

See, this is why I need an iPhone! I was at my LSS this morning and could have checked this out for you. Drat!

Call the company. I'll bet they can help match the color. And I know there are swatch kits that you can buy with the colors.

Wouldn't it be fun to use Glossy Accents and seed beads for the centers? SO textural and gorgeous! (ok, I know you said you had the centers--but I had to throw that out there!)

I have both the SB and QK sunflowers, if you need a comparison.

Dania, I have the perfect shade of bling but it does not have a name on it and when I search online, each place seems to show different shades of yellow and I can't find the exact color. I am thinking I got it at Michael's but I don't remember when. I can check tomorrow and see if they still have it.

Just in case, hubby is taking me to Michael's in a few minutes to see if I can find the name of the bling color. I'll let you know if I find it. Bad part is hubby said we'll just eat lunch at the Chinese Buffet next to M's and yuck, lol, but I'll suffer for my SL friend, lol.

I checked, they didn't have that color anymore, just two light shades of yellow. Sorry Dania!

Thank you girls. And Vicki thank you for checking. I got the Bazzill site and sent my daughter the color selection and it turns out she likes the "spoiled brat" which is more orange than yellow, so I guess that is the color I need. BUT I'm still in the same boat - does the color on the computer screen represent the correct shade. Vicki I didn't realize that Michaels carried Bazzill Bling- I don't remember ever seeing it at my Michaels, but that doesn't mean anything. I'll take a trip down there.

Joselle, I saw the spellbinder sunflower and it is really pretty. I already got my hands on the retired qks one. It will be quicker to cut with my squeeze. I need to make 600 flowers.

Diane I did consider Prima and Anita sent me a sample of the sunflowers. Very pretty, but if I can find it I think it will be expensive and I will still need to mount them on a wire.

I'm planning on having an assembly flower party.

Thank you girls again for your help and input.
